Embroidery Fundamentals
Whether you are just getting started or you have been an embroidery artist all along, Anita Goodesign wants this beloved craft to be both fun and easy for any skill-level. Through our line of Embroidery, Quilting, and Project collections, we have developed a range of exciting techniques, creating an endless array of styles that can be catered to all sorts of interests! Whether you love the look of hand embroidery, stitching on card stock, or even ornate tile scene creations, we wanted to provide an experience that will make every embroiderer feel welcome and guided along the way.
The price of this class includes the designs, book, and 2 days of instruction. If you have never done embroidery, and are thinking of purchasing a machine, just let us know when you sign up and we will provide one for you.
This is a 2-session class taught by Debby McGrath and Sherry Bertochi. One will spend time with you in the morning and then after lunch, they will switch and the other one will finish. Some of the techniques include: Standard Applique Embroidery, Loopy Fringe, Tile Scene, Watercolor, Cross Stitch, and more.
If you have any questions, you can email Sherry at sherrybertochi53@gmail.com. Sherry will get back to you.
The class fee is non-refundable as the hard copy book and designs are included!
